HOME SWEET HOME!!!



We are home!! It was a looooonnnnngggg day yesterday, but Karleigh Mei was EXCELLENT on all 3 flights that we had to take! We were all very tired when we landed. We had LOTS of friends waiting for us at the airport though. What a sweet gift it was to see everyone. Thank you to all of you who came to welcome us home---you were all a precious site to our tired eyes!!

Today has been a good day. We are very tired still...but we are so happy to be HOME! You can pray for Karleigh Mei and that she will be able to sleep well tonight. Last night was a bit rough. We have her in a play pen in our room. We thought it would be best for her to get used to our home.

Karleigh Mei's brothers and sisters are in love with her. And she of them! Here are some pictures of her with each of them.

Welcome home Karleigh Mei!!

Welcome Home!
have you tried leaving a light on at night yet? That seemed to help our girl, we also bought her a glow worm so she could have a little light whenever she wanted. Hope your nights get better soon
